Iran Tries to Brake Kurdish Support of Syrian Rebels

Major-General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Al-Quds Force of Iran's Revolutionary Guards is on a visit to the city of Suleimaniyah in the Iraqi Kurdish region that was not announced by the Tehran government, according to Kurdish sources in northern Iraq, quoted Thursday by the Al-Arabiya network.
